Alpha and Omega are the first and last letters, respectively, in the Greek alphabet, or so I’m told. That just sounded like a good title for this post since I have a feeling that the blooming season is about over for the Cereus cactus in our garden. The First Flower popped out around the end of May, leading up to a Profusion of blooms a couple of weeks ago.
This little bud may be one of the last blooms of the season. It looks formidable surrounded by spines, but it is destined to be another gorgeous flower. Click on the image at the left for a really close-up view.
